General Board / Import Rational Rose Models?

« on: December 11, 2004, 04:43:52 pm »

EA Help (vers 4.10.734) tells me this may be possible using XMI files, but RR provides no info on "XMI." When I export a Rational model or element, it creates a file with extension .ptl, which it calls a "petal" file.  Is there any way to import these files into EA?  I'm only interested in very basic diagrams, like class diagrams.
Using RR Enterprise 2003.06.13.402 at work; would love to be able to at least view models when working at home, can't afford, nor would pay my own good money for, my own copy of Rational.

General Board / How to bend flows on activity diagram

« on: March 29, 2002, 07:18:40 am »

Difficult to describe verbally, but I need to join a decision element at the end of a flow of activities back up several activities in the chain. The flow would go off to the right about 2 inches (sorry, we're not metric in the US yet), bend upwards 45 derees, continue about 4 inches, then bend left.  Questions: (1) I see that if "style" of the flow is "routed" rather than "direct," you can bend it; how do you set that property before creating it? (2)  I can create one 45 degree bend, how do I create more than one?
